She opens her blouse, and her breasts, transformed into balloons float up. She wishes to be a mathematician, a senator, a telegrapher, doctor, and so on, and so great is her frustration, that she wants to become everything at once. She aspires to more than household drudge and recreation.
We get a more exact idea of how bored when she interprets her husband's calls for more bacon as lovemaking. Thérèse, a bored housewife, is sick of her confinement to the home. By this point, we should be able to guess that Apollinaire wants to talk about gender. This time, she wounded the male and became a man again. A number of years passed, when she saw the same two snakes. The myth goes that Tiresias saw two snakes mating, wounded the female, and became a woman himself (or now, herself). Tiresias was, of course, the blind prophet who had the distinction of having lived as a man and as a woman. The prologue, for example, in which the moral is set forth ("France! Have more babies!"), is sung to music that would not have been out of place in Poulenc's Dialogues des Carmélites. But there's a serious undercurrent to the music at odds with the slapstick of the text, just as Apollinaire, apart from his joking, has some serious points to make. The music and its vigorous pace call to mind the old René Clair musicals like Le Million and the early Chevalier movies like Love Me Tonight – the opera a high-class cousin, perhaps. Apollinaire had written his skit as early as 1903, setting the action in "Zanzibar." Without changing a word, Poulenc shifted time and place to the French Riviera of the Twenties – for Poulenc, a magic place since childhood. The piece also shows how Poulenc took over his texts.
THE BLIND PROPHET SHEET MUSIC SERIES
It's essentially a series of vaudeville comedy routines. Mamelles takes advantage of that aspect of her art. Poulenc wrote all three of his operas – Les mamelles, Dialogues des Carmélites, and La Voix humaine – for the remarkable Denise Duval, a singing actress of great range, who got her start at the Folies-Bergère. Actually, it's probably more accurate to talk of an interpenetration of the two, particularly since key musical ideas appear in either kind of work. Poulenc did progress, in the sense that his work became increasingly assured technically, but a good deal of his career consists of a back-and-forth between an unashamed hedonism and a naïve, direct, and even stern Catholicism. Naïvely I believed that composers "progressed." Surely, Poulenc had outgrown this sort of thing – a work of Dadaist hi-jinks. Indeed, when I first heard the opera (the Denise Duval LP), I thought it was from the Twenties. Poulenc's music returns to his "bright" Satiean idiom of the Twenties. For the opera, he returned to one of his earliest literary heroes, Guillaume Apollinaire, who exercised the greatest influence over the composer immediately following the First World War. Poulenc conceived of Les mamelles as a diversion from his serious works of the war, notably the choral masterpiece La Figure humaine. These two works lie roughly fifteen years apart, Le bal masqué premiering in 1932 and Les mamelles in 1947. i know.Summary for the Busy Executive: Putting the "ooo" in "ooo-la-la." Wow this sounds stupid these instruments dont go together at all and the different section changes literally sound like i was bipolar when i made this, what can i do to make this better.

Mmmm ok i made 2 megaman x tracks but i dont know if theyll fit with the album, ill make another one and combine it with real instruments for SOLLUX'S THEME so i can parallel last frontiier AND make a track in case YOU EVER GET TO PLAY AS SOLLUX IT WILL PLAY THIS SONG.
